In New York, Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul distanced herself Wednesday from disgraced Governor Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo announced his resignation Tuesday after New York Attorney General Letitia James reported he sexually harassed at least 11 women. Hochul is set to replace Cuomo on August 24, becoming New York’s first female governor.

Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul: “The governor and I have not been close, physically or otherwise, in terms of much time. … At the end of my term, whenever it ends, no one will ever describe my administration as a toxic work environment.”
